Weight loss....Blah

So I have been working out 4 times a week since February and have lost a total of 4 freaking pounds! Ugh.  Really?? What is the point?? I am still hanging in there and will continue to work out.  I have been doing lots of weights and cardio and so I feel like I am gaining more muscle, but I want to lose weight! I looked up my height and weight and I should weight about 143 pounds (fyi I weigh in at 146) but anything up to 164 is still ok.  I should be proud that I am right where I was pre-baby.  That in itself is an accomplishment considering the day I gave birth I topped the scale at 181...yikes!!! My goal is 135, so I need that 10 pounds to come off! Harder said than done.  I am not a fan of extreme dieting, I would rather work out and eat what I wanted.  Now granted sometimes I eat ice cream after I work out....but I worked out so it is ok right??!! I am not giving up my food, all in moderation! I would def like to be at 135 when baby #2 is on its way, so hey I have 3 years to lose 10 pounds!! I better be able to do that! I see all these skinny bitches women that pop out babies and they are back to their like size 2 by the time they leave the hospital! I have never been small or petite.  I have big hips and now they are even bigger after Logan.  All I can do is keep trying and be happy where I am.  Just needed a place to vent :)

What will I be when I grow up?

Yes I am almost 28 years old and still do not know what I want to be when I grow up.  To all of those people out there who have their idea of a perfect career, to you this is foolish.  To me, truthful.  I went to college because that is what people did, so I did.  I had an interest in marketing and communications after I started working for Rec Sports at SHSU.  I am creative, a people person so I thought, heck why not?! I had no idea when I graduated it would be so hard.  I had to settle for jobs that really did not interest me just to make money.  Here I am, almost 5 years out of school and do I have my dream job?  Nope.  Not really even close.  I love the team I work with, they are amazing people, but I am not passionate about my job. I have even come to terms with---this might be it for me.  I might have to settle just so I can make money and not have to start over again. Is this how it should be? No, but here I sit.  Almost 28 years old and still don't know.  I feel a change coming, maybe not soon, but it has to.  Not only for me, but I want to be able to have more kids and financially support them! I feel like I am so capable, driven and motivated to do more than what I am doing.  Again, I love my job and I m very thankful I have it, it is just not what I was meant to do.  Wondering what the future holds for me is exciting and I hope that there are good things in store for me!!!

Happy "Da-Da's" Day!

I always knew when I married (heck even when I met) Bryan that he was going to be an amazing father! We spent last father's day at my parents house and that is what we did this year as well.  It was a nice day of being around family and I appreciate everything that daddies do.  I could not have done it without Bryan.  He is a great "Da-da", and Logan and I are so lucky to have him in our lives. 











And Happy Fathers Day to my Daddy! I love you and appreciate everything you have done for my Mom,  my sister and me.  You are hardworking and determined and I get that from you.  I also get those not so nice traits of being stubborn and bossy from you too.  ;)  You have taught me to be the person I am today.  I love you!

Busy weekends #2 and #3

Whoa, we have been really busy the past few weekends!

#2
We made the long drive down to Laredo to visit Bryan's family and was a much needed few days off.  But it went by really fast! We got to meet Bryan's cousin's little boy, Wyatt, who was born on April 3.  Him and Logan are almost exactly one year apart! He is so cute and Logan gave him kisses on his head and wanted to touch him.  His grandparents were so amazed how big Logan was.  They had not seen him since Christmas.  When we were there he actually took 2 steps to me, but has not done it since! He will walk soon I know it but he is like me and does not want to be rushed! We had such a nice time but my camera died the last few days we were there and I did not get many picture sadly :( We will hopefully be back down that way in September!

#3
We headed over to Houston for my friends bacherlorette party this past weekend.  We were staying at my sisters while she was gone and we watched her dog.  We went on Friday night and got up Saturday morning and went to the outlet mall.  It was really nice walking around and having a little get-a-way.  Then Bryan dropped me off at Shelby's for my girls night out! It was tough for me, 3rd time that I have left Logan over-night, it is always hard leaving my little man.  We had so much fun! We went out on a party bus and then went out to Washington Ave.  It was a blast, but I am not 21 anymore! But I am proud of myself I made it until about 1:30 and then we went back to Shelby's house and talked until 4am! I was so tired but I never get to hang out with my girls so it was much needed!

We are actually staying in town this weekend, but next weekend we are headed to a wedding in Magnolia and then Brenham for Fathers Day!
